Expert Flat Roofing Specialists in Salcombe, Devon

Most homeowners I speak to are tired of dealing with pushy salespeople and revolving doors of sub-contractors. When you call me, you deal directly with the person who will be up on your roof doing the work. As a sole trader, my reputation is built on every single job I complete in the South Hams. This means you get a single point of contact from the initial survey right through to the final sign-off. There’s no miscommunication, no 'passing the buck', and no hidden surprises—just honest, expert craftsmanship and the peace of mind that comes with full public liability insurance.

Have you noticed water 'ponding' on your flat roof after a heavy South Devon downpour? That’s often a sign that the 'fall' of your roof isn't quite right, or the material is starting to fail. GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) is one of my most popular recommendations for Salcombe homes. It's a cold-applied, seamless system that creates a tough, waterproof skin over your roof. Because there are no joints or seams, there are no weak points for water to get in. It's incredibly durable, looks great on modern extensions, and can even be finished with a non-slip coating if you need to access the area for maintenance.

For larger areas like garage roofs or orangeries, EPDM rubber roofing is often the perfect choice. This high-performance synthetic rubber membrane is remarkably flexible, meaning it can expand and contract with the changing temperatures without cracking. Imagine a single, giant sheet of rubber custom-fitted to your roof—that's the level of protection EPDM offers. It's UV resistant and has a proven lifespan of several decades. Whether I'm working on a property in Hope Cove, Thurlestone, or Kingsbridge, I ensure the installation includes proper kerbs and drips to direct every drop of water safely into your gutters.

Is your flat-roofed extension or conservatory freezing in the winter and like a greenhouse in the summer? This is a common problem with older 'cold deck' roofs where the insulation is tucked between the joists. I specialise in warm roof construction, where high-quality insulation boards are placed above the roof deck. This keeps the entire structure of the roof at a consistent temperature, preventing condensation and significantly cutting your energy bills. It’s a smart investment that turns a seasonal room into a comfortable, year-round living space for your South Hams home.
